I have been taking advantage of the nice weather to start cleaning out my gardens. Here the planter full of Liriope is about to be removed. Last year, I left the old grass but this year, I have decided to remove it for a nicer look.

I took the hand clippers to this planter so as to not disturb any critters taking shelter under the dormant grass. Some times, we get a baby bunny or two. I did not find any bunnies but a big toad which was happy I did not take any type of electric device to this grass. New growth was already popping up from the earth.

I raised the patio umbrella for shade while sipping ice cold water.

And look who was on top of the umbrella. Charlie the Anole visit me as I rest.

Okay, I became sidetracked a bit. Back to my pretties. These are a smaller variety. I call them Narcissus.

Did you know that Daffodils are in the Amaryllis family? Click HERE to learn more about them.

Here is one that has yet to completely open.

I find it fun to observe blooms in different stages. I tell you, I just cannot get enough of these little SUNNY DELIGHTS, In the Garden...

They are looking mighty cute this spring! I love these little cheery guys too. I never really noticed the pollen before. I wonder if honeybees eat it? I started calling them buttercups too. It's just easier. A good amount of mine are in bloom-actually going by now. I missed it all due to the rain but more will come I think.

How funny you too call them Buttercups now. I remember the debate on a blog written long ago about them. I posted this late last night and today, the double ones are opening up! Oh well, maybe I will get a few pics of them before they go by the way side. The heat seems to be getting to them as this round of them are not lasting as long as the earlier bloomers... Should be back to normal Spring temps in a few days....

I love daffodils--such a cheery beginning to spring! I always wondered why some people called them buttercups...my mother always called them jonquils; I don't know why. It's been warm here, too, and though we're far behind you, I do believe spring is on its way.
